The plan reduces the deficit. It reduces the deficit by raising certain taxes. This is how government gets their revenue, by taxing.
Hypothetically, if your taxes go up $500 per year but your premiums go down by $2,000, do you win or lose? I'm not saying this would or will happen, let's just suppose for the moment that it will. So, if you know for a fact that you'll save $2000 per year, but you'll have to send $500 more to uncle Sam, would you approve then?
Some just don't want the government involved whether it's in their best financial interests or not. But the suggestion that the plan increases the deficit is false.
P.S. Your image at the bottom of your post is outdated. It was Bush that crossed the $5trillion threshold; and the 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10Trillion thresholds.
No way in hell are you going to convince me that paying 10 years for service for 6 years is a good thing. No way are you going to convince me that these backroom deals are good for average Americans. This entire thing stinks so bad that they can smell it at the North pole.
Yeah I got it, nothing will convince you that this ni**er president's bill is a good thing. Duly noted.

Are so fucking stupid as to have just accused me of being a racist? Fuck you asshole. You have now lost any credibility you may have had. But then you never had any.
